VaKo Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Backtrack is basically an appliance, its designed for pen testing and little else. So while you could technically use it has a normal distro its not a good idea. If you want a regular desktop linux stick to ubuntu/fedora or something like that.

operat0r_001 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 you may want to just do a VMware image .. if you are new to *nix http://www.binrev.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34676 http://rmccurdy.com/scripts/fast-track.py Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biftekaki Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 i dont think vmware is a good idea, because my laptop is not so fast. i have the gericom laptop (i dont know if in the us you know this) its a 1400MHz pentium M , with 256MB i know its not much. 80 gb hd everthing else is standard. i dont think my laptop is fast with a second os in vmware. but i never try that so... and i install backtrack with widows xp and lilo exact like the video. so what i have done wrong ???i dont know , iam not a liux expert like u all :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 sometimes it just doesn't work* thats linux try ubuntu if that works you can just add in most of the tools from backtrack *out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
